Led by Griffin Hospital Director of Bariatrics Dr. Abe Fridman, these seminars will explain how bariatric surgery can help patients lose significant amounts of weight, enhance their health, and provide long-term outcomes.
Additionally, techniques, support programs, pre- and post-operative expectations, and insurance questions are also discussed.
Griffin Hospital established its comprehensive weight loss surgery program, Griffin Bariatrics, to provide a medical solution for patients with more substantial weight loss needs.
The long-term success enjoyed by Griffin Bariatrics patients is a result of excellent medical care, including the latest minimally invasive surgical procedures, combined with access to a full range of multidisciplinary services that have been assembled to support them before, during, and after their surgery.
To register, contact Bariatric Care Specialist Kimberly Fisher at kfisher@griffinhealth.org or 203-732-7108.

Turnback Tuesday looks at the home of state Sen. Thomas Burlock and his wife, Caroline, located on the corner of 5th and Anson Streets, Derby.
Burlock was born in New York in 1804 and was educated at Yale. He married Caroline after completing his education and worked in New York as a grain distiller. After retiring, they moved to Shelton where Burlock took a lively interest in political issues.
Moving to Derby, he became interested in manufacturing and was a Derby legislator from 1848-49. He passed in 1865.
The woman in the photo is believed to be Caroline Burlock.
Thanks goes to the Derby Public Library staff for sharing interesting local history each week.
Regular readers will recall that my dear husband Ralph passed away in December.
I was moved by what I read on Saturday's page about the role of familiar objects.
Instead of getting upset and sad looking at his possessions - clothing, books, photographs, magazines, and more - the affirmation urged me to take comfort in the familiar objects in the house.
That's a new way of looking at my surroundings and one I'm going to try to achieve.
